Forever Gone The rose is now forever gone The scent remains the whole life long And visions of a petal’s hue Abide within the depth of you The wine he poured and slowly sipped Remains on wetness of your lip A taste so sweet does not depart Embedded in a tender heart A touch of silk, a feel of soft The sense of rising up aloft To touch the clouds, to soar the sky Still dwells in reminiscent eye How well we save the little parts Of sweetness wrapped within our hearts And never count the solemn tears That fill the soul throughout the years His words are scrolled in lyric rhyme That live forever in your mind His eyes that once enchanted yours Are diamond’s gleam that still allures The rose yet blossoms in your eyes It is a flower that never dies Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 02-27-2001).] |

"How well we save the little parts Of sweetness wrapped within our hearts And never count the solemn tears That fill the soul throughout the years" So lovely and flowing Liz ... and so very true. Memories have an amazing way of smoothing and softening over the years. You've crafted an incredibly lovely poem, with much wisdom within. Thank you for the beautiful read, my friend ...  Best wishes, /Kit |

You have a true gift for meter, Elizabeth, this is wonderful. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

A cry that floats the wind in sigh A sigh that brings a tear to eye. A lovely fragile butterfly That spreads its wings the shape of Y A lovely poem Sy |

You know how to make me think. When I read the title, I thought about the word "forever" and its meaning...and it can be both good and bad. When someone says, "I love you forever," it's something to be happy about, but forever gone isn't and you have to come to terms with it. Sorry for rambling, Liz....you've done beautifully as always. |

Your just so good Lis... You know how much I love my Rose... and too, she'll never be gone from my inner parts. Again you've touched my heart... much much love. dale Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am. To write of feelings that touch all hearts in some manner is my delight. -Marge Tindal [This message has been edited by lucky (edited 03-03-2001).] |

Beautiful thoughts and reflections Elizabeth. "How well we save the little parts Of sweetness wrapped within our hearts And never count the solemn tears That fill the soul throughout the years. "His words are scrolled in lyric rhyme That live forever in your mind His eyes that once enchanted yours Are diamonds gleam that still allures." These types of reflections of the warmth of a loving relationship are bound to flow through your heart from time to time .....the memories being still so strong....wonderful poem my dear lady.......take care ethome The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
